Hotel Villa Taormina, Taormina

The Hotel Villa Taormina is a small and luxurious Taormina hotel, built in the 1800s, and offering exclusive four-star accommodation amid the idyllic setting of a traditional, aromatic Sicilian garden. Lying on Via T. Fazzello, this Taormina hotel has just eight rooms. All are luxurious and decorated in a traditionally opulent Sicilian style. Spacious and air conditioned, the rooms are furnished with an opulence that evokes the building's history as the home of a local nobleman (he wouldn't have had the comfort of air conditioning of course).

The beautiful gardens of this Taormina hotel have jasmine, bougainvillea, citrus trees and Mediterranean plants. All sit within an ancient stone wall, dating from the tenth century. The terrace and gardens provide lucky guests with stunning views over to Mount Etna and out over the town's rooftops to the blue waters of the Mediterranean.

And yet this Taormina hotel is situated right in the historic centre of this Sicilian town. Here you are just a ten-minute journey down to the sea, and you can quickly be in the heart of the town. Taormina is a stupendously pretty town, with its ancient Teatro Greco, and some historic churches including the 13th century cathedral. Taormina has some superb places to eat, with the menu being dominated by the fresh seafood for which Sicily is famous. And you'll find great shops, bars and cafes.
